Managing Social Value just got easier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing projects across multiple authorities shouldn’t mean remembering which authorities to log into, having to log in via a specific page, and manually reposting projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new update improves how you work across multiple authorities on Match My Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Logging in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What’s changed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in once \u2014 from any login page \u2014 and you automatically have access to all authorities you’re registered with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Access any authority from the login page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Your credentials work on any login page, regardless of authority<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Any bookmarked pages still work \u2014 the old URLs will still get you to the right place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you log in, if you’re registered with more than one authority, you’ll see a welcome page where you can select the account you need to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Easy switching between authorities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A new authority switcher at the top of your sidebar lets you move between authorities with a single click. No more opening new browser windows or tabs to check each authority separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s changed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you log in, you’ll see the new sidebar menu, displaying the authority you’re logged into at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click the dropdown next to the authority name to view all other authorities you have access to \u2014 or easily apply to more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What this means for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Save time and keep track of your projects more easily<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 No more logging out and logging back in to switch between authorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Post to multiple authorities at once<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you post a project or offer, you can now select additional authorities to post to, removing the need for you to manually duplicate projects to other authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Fill in your project or offer details and click ‘Complete’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You’ll be asked if you want to post to other authorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Select which authorities you want<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. New tabs open for each authority so you can review locations (for in-kind support offers) or outcomes (for community-led projects) and finalise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Choose to submit immediately, or save each project as a draft<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why this matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For community organisations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where authorities overlap, or if you serve communities across authority boundaries, this update significantly reduces your administrative burden. Post your project once<\/strong>, select the relevant authorities, and you’re done. No more maintaining separate project listings or worrying about missing opportunities because you forgot to check one authority’s site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For suppliers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

National and regional suppliers with contracts across multiple authorities can finally manage everything from one account. See all your projects, matches, and tasks across all authorities without the login-logout dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For authorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should see a difference in the number of login queries you need to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What to expect when you log in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re registered with just one authority<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won’t notice much difference at first, but you now have the option to easily register with more authorities. Look for the authority switcher at the top of your sidebar and click ‘Add authority’ when you’re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re already registered with multiple authorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you log in, you’ll be asked to select which authority to start with. Choose one, and you’re in. You’ll immediately see the new authority switcher and can explore the improvements from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What hasn’t changed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Each authority still approves users and projects independently<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Projects can still only match with one authority (no double-counting)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 All your existing projects, matches, and data are exactly where you left them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Your login credentials haven’t changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We’d love your feedback<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
